King Charles III, head of the Church of England, and Queen Camilla will make a state visit to meet Pope Leo XIV for the first time at the Vatican next month, Buckingham Palace said Saturday.
"Their Majesties The King and Queen will undertake a State Visit to the Holy See in late October 2025," a statement said of the trip, which will come around six months after the royal couple met Leo's predecessor, Pope Francis, shortly before his death.
